[leedavi]

Is there an existing issue for this?

• I have searched the existing issues

Description of problem

Need more control of the skin, current this is done with a httpmodule or skinsrc cookie/url. Preferably a more secure and flexible method should be used.

Description of solution

Technical Requirements: Module-Controlled Skin Override via Manifest <moduleControl>

Objective

Enable dynamic skin override by adding a <skinOverride> element to each <moduleControl> in the DNN manifest, allowing the HttpModuleRocket to read the configuration at runtime.

Proposed Manifest Schema

Add a <skinOverride> element to each <moduleControl> that requires a specific skin:

<moduleControl>
    <controlKey>Edit</controlKey>
    <controlSrc>DotNetNuke.Web.MvcPipeline.ModuleControl.WebForms.WrapperModule, DotNetNuke.Web.MvcPipeline</controlSrc>
    <mvcControlClass>RocketContentRazor.Controls.EditControl, RocketContentRazor</mvcControlClass>
    <supportsPartialRendering>True</supportsPartialRendering>
    <controlTitle>Edit Rocket Content</controlTitle>
    <controlType>Edit</controlType>
    <skinOverride>/rocketedit</skinOverride>
    <iconFile />
    <helpUrl/>
    <supportsPopUps>True</supportsPopUps>
    <viewOrder>0</viewOrder>
</moduleControl>

Implementation Changes Required

Database Storage

The <skinOverride> value would be stored in DNN's ModuleControls table (new column) or as an extended property, parsed during module installation.

Benefits

• Module-specific: Each module controls its own skin overrides
• Declarative: No code changes needed per module
• Backward compatible: Modules without <skinOverride> use default behavior
• Clear mapping: Skin directly associated with the control that uses it

This approach embeds skin configuration directly in the control definition, making it self-documenting and module-specific.
